I thought the other reviews about portion size were being dramatic but sadly I was wrong. I ordered a garlic steak bowl to go yesterday, my order ended up being over $20 which I was willing to pay to receive the bowl shown in the photos on the sweetgreen website.
I went and picked it up, brought it home, and this is what I got (photos include the picture they show on the website, right when I opened the bowl, and after I removed the sauces from the bowl).
Six sweet potatoes, the smallest scoop of crusty meat I’ve ever seen, six cherry tomato halves, a laughable amount of broccoli, and a a tiny scoop of rice.
For $20 this is a ridiculous amount of food to receive and not to mention it was completely flavorless and the meat was so crusty and dry. For their second day open this is extremely disappointing, especially when there are plenty of other great bowl options in the area (Cali, Naked Farmer, Bolay, Poppo’s, etc.)
I truly hope they read these reviews and make some changes otherwise I can’t imagine they’ll stay open very long. I feel like I got completely ripped off and would like...
Read moreSo exciting there's a Sweetgreen's in St. Pete! I've been living in Los Angeles for over a decade and been going to Sweetgreen's, at different locations they have) for years. Now there's a Sweetgreen (healthy place) option in St. Pete yay!! A super place to eat, that's healthy for salads with a variety of other delicious options. That are really great quality. Brenda, today made me a super salad and was so helpful and kind. She made sure my Mom got to try a slice of bread that was just out of the oven. Thank you.:)) Also, there's some Summer salads with peaches and goat cheese, that end in a week and a half that are so delicious too! Make sure if you've never been here before to download the app to get points. It's so worth it and you can always eat half later or bring it somewhere. Plus, they use cardboard packaging, which is even more responsible for the waste situation. PS- they have wild caught salmon, which is so much more healthier. PSS-Also, There’s nice seating outside under a shade of tree...
Read moreWent in an hour before close. My gf wanted white rice, we were staring right at it…
We stood there for 10 minutes and weren’t even greeted. When she finally came over to us to start our order, the first thing she says was “we’re out of this, out of that, out of white rice. “
She claimed the white rice was for online orders for the rest of the night only..
I’ve worked in customer service at Fresh kitchen, and even fine dining. In store should ALWAYS get priority. Not to mention that’s the first thing she said to us without saying hello.
Food looked dry, not stirred, and one of the lady’s was borderline yelling at a guest saying “hello hello?!?!” as they didn’t realize they had to choose a sauce.
We immediately left. Enjoying a good meal should always start with decent customer service and a good energy. I think everyone can agree no matter how good the food is, if the employee is rude, it makes the experience so much worse. Probably won’t be back...
